So, in episode 1, remember how Mami saved Madoka and Sayaka from Gertrud's barrier? You all remember Gertrud's minions, Anthonies, right? The little cotton-ball things with butterfly wings on their tails? Anywho, remember how they started crowding around Madoka and Sayaka, chanting some weird song. And then Mami proceeded to do some bad-ass moves and all the Anthony's heads came off.


 Well what they were singing was in German, and, its just a theory, but the song might have been directed at Mami, not Madoka and Sayaka.  

The song went ..

Das sind mir unbekannte Blumen.

Ja. Sie sind mir auch unbekannt.

Schneiden wir sie ab?
Ja. Schneiden wir sie ab!
Die Rosen schenken wir unsrer Königin.
Und die schlechten Blumen
steigen auf die Guillotine.
Ja. Schneide sie ab!
Ja. Schneide sie heraus!


If you speak German, you'll know that means..


 Those flowers are unknown to me.

Yes. They are also unknown to me.
Shall we cut them off?
Yes. Let us cut them off.
We present the roses to our queen.
And the bad flowers
go to the guillotine.
Yes. Cut them off!
Yes. Cut them out!


And then we all saw how Mami died. That's some fantastic foreshadowing!
